FINANCIAL ACCESSIBILITY

WE WONT TURN ANYONE AWAY!

It’s a part of our mission to ensure that everyone can see and learn about our animals – regardless of financial limitations or any other special circumstance.

Financial Accessibility — We are certain people appreciate the expense of caring for our animals and running our events, but we do NOT want to be cost prohibitive. If you or anyone you know would like to attend but for one reason or another this is not possible for financial reasons, please email [email protected] and we will gladly arrange entrance that works for them/you.

Special Needs — We recognize that many families, schools, and organizations have children with special needs who could benefit greatly from our zoos and presentations; however, may not be able to attend as they may not do well in crowds. Please don’t hesitate to reach out regarding financial accessibility in visiting our zoo and we’d be happy to assist.

We’re Moving in 2019!

It is with great pleasure that we announce that after 18 years on Bank Street we have purchased a building and are officially moving our Ottawa Zoo/Nature Centre to a larger facility. The Ottawa location has been fabulous for us but we have simply outgrown the location and found the perfect spot in Sarsfield, ON about 15 minutes East from Orleans and not far from the 417. We will be going from half an acre and 7,000 sq ft to 3.5 acres and 14,000 sq ft and the main building is a giant open warehouse allowing for us to set up exhibits in any configuration we choose which will be awesome.

Our entire team is super excited about this amazing new venture and what we can accomplish at this new facility. Stay tuned for details of the new plans in 2019.

THANK YOU - We can not thank each of you enough for all of your support over the years. For those of you who have visited and loved the Ottawa location. This Christmas season will be especially fun as we wind down a wonderful 18 years in this location before we officially open our doors in Sarsfield shortly after the holidays.

For the remainder of 2018, we remain open on 5305 Bank Street, Ottawa, ON:

Monday-Thursday from 10am-4pm.

Friday-Sunday: 10am-5pm

MUSEUM EXHIBITS

Our interactive and educational animal museum exhibits are fully staffed with zookeepers who are there to interact with, engage, and educate the public. The dynamic combination of themed exhibits, engaging presentations and educational interpretation cover conservation issues, facts about animals from around the world and the environment in which those animals live.

These world-class exhibits are modular, customizable, and flexible in design and installation. They can beautifully accommodate areas from 500 sq.ft. to 9,000 sq.ft. Interactive components, highly qualified zookeepers, educational programming, and turnkey operations are included in all exhibits.

Little Ray’s Nature Centres is Canada’s leader in providing world-class, interactive, interpretive animal education exhibits and programming for museums, conservatories, zoos, nature parks, and botanical gardens.
